Europejskie modele regulacji podejmowania decyzji o zakończeniu życia
European Models of Regulation of End-of-Life Decision-Making

Summary/Abstract: The research objective of the article is to define European standards for making end-of-life decisions. The study was divided into two analytical parts. In the first part, a broad analysis of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights was carried out in order to determine the normative boundaries within which European states can move by regulating the issue of making decisions about the end of life. In the second part, a comparative legal analysis of national legal systems was made, distinguishing three main models of regulating this issue: the model legalising euthanasia, the model legalising assisted suicide (PAS), the model penalising euthanasia. These models were assessed in terms of the implementation of the guidelines set out by the ECtHR.
